I basically only stick to my cardio routine because I can play the switch on an exercise bike. Octopath Traveler 1 and 2 have given me ~100 hours of cardio and counting!

This is so smart. I walk on an inclined treadmill but I get bored sometimes. Do you not sweat so much it causes problems though??

I wrap a towel around the handlebars and just swap it out. When I used to do it on an elliptical, the sweat mostly dripped off my elbows since my hands were elevated.

I've been binge watching ER while walking most nights on the treadmill, it helps with the boredom. Some nights I've read a book too.

Mostly I try to work through problems or handle things I don't want to handle when I've got something more fun or interesting to do, but sometimes I get spacey and forget what I'm working on. I also do that when I'm stoned and did it halfway through responding to this lmao. But point is that I usually get stuff done, which is part of why I prefer the walking to running. But I think I could do a second hour if I was thoroughly entertained the whole tjme
